Billiken 2 Billiken Resale Shop
The mission of Saint Louis University’s Billiken 2 Billiken (B2B) Resale is to provide an accessible, sustainable and student-centered mutual aid store offering gently used items for all Billikens. From low-cost professional attire in the Career Closet to free gender-affirming resources, B2B exists to support students’ evolving needs with care. B2B is rooted in the values of dignity, inclusion, empowerment and mutual support.
In partnership with the Center for Social Action and rooted in the Jesuit value of solidarity, SLU student leaders have created Billiken 2 Billiken Resale as a space where students support one another through the exchange of gently used, affordable items.
This initiative strengthens our campus community by reducing financial barriers and promoting sustainability, while also fostering a culture of mutual aid and care. B2B connects students with essential goods and campus resources to advance their personal, academic and financial well-being.
